Connecting the world with color

CheerLights API

CheerLights uses the TweetControl App from ThingSpeak to listen to Twitter for the keyword “cheerlights” in real-time. When a Tweet matches, TweetControl updates the CheerLights ThingSpeak Channel with the last color received. Since CheerLights uses ThingSpeak to collect our color values, we can use the ThingSpeak Channel API to read our data. CheerLights uses channel 1417 and stores the color name in field1 and the HEX color value in field2. Once you are familiar with the CheerLights API, try building your own CheerLights display.
